Here's the lesboccer basics:

>1
Every team has at least 2 main formations, which are ways to position their 10 players on the field (goalkeeper excluded), e.g., 4-4-2; 3-4-1-2; 4-2-1-3...

>2
The 2 most basic formations are the "attack" and "defense" setups. The team will dynamically change their field formation on the go according to who's attacking or defending (basically who's holding the ball atm)

>3
The players are divided into roles that work best for each specific region of the field, i.e., defenders/center-backs stay closer to their own goal and are responsible for disabling enemy strikers, while midfielders are generally responsible for pushing the ball forward and creating opportunities for their own strikers to score, and so on

>4
The roles, players and formations are often versatile. A team's playstyle depends entirely on its coach's strategies and training
